Let’s start with the basics.

I’m listening to Eve by Cat Bohannon, and I’m obsessed. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should read next? 💙📚

Schoolhouse Rock is going to have to remake its cartoon on how a bill becomes a law.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

People stop using autism as an excuse for bigotry. Challenge level: convincing a Nazi to read a history book.

My gift today: not turning on the news. The world could be spinning off its axis, and I wouldn’t know. And you know what? It’s been bliss. Tomorrow I’ll dip a toe back into the current, but for now, I’m savoring the peace of knowing absolutely nothing. Highly recommend.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

There’s no way any of you just /know/ what the sixth month is…

Meant to spend my day off reading but ended up spending a lot of time with a friend ❤️

no, i won’t be giving up anything for the new year. i already give up coffee for 8 hours a night what more do you want.

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️

I’m setting up a storygraph, so I can do a “what I read this year” post. I haven’t updated my goodreads in over 10 years. We’ll see if I’m able to stick with it 💙📚

I’m so bad at actually labeling my #20daybookchallenge posts with the correct date, so I think my challenge is over tomorrow!

I just finished “Blood of Hercules” by Jasmine Mas. It was fun, but not my cup of tea. Does anyone have any recommendations for #romantasy books? I enjoyed ACOTAR and Fourth Wing. 💙📚

Just your regular reminder.

The Wounded Knee Massacre occurred 134 years ago (December 29, 1890), on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. Here are five, relatively recent works of excellent scholarship on that tragic event. #BookSky 💙📚

Poor impulse control at B&N #booksky

Many pediatric oncology programs rely on philanthropy and have just a small fraction of the resources that St Jude has. If you’d like to support children with cancer, especially those in your area, consider donating to your local children’s hospital.

Just thought everyone should know that all hardcovers at Barnes & Noble are 30-50% off through the weekend.

I learned from our chaplain this week that their service staffed the hospital 24/7, and when on call, they were required to show up to every Code Blue within 30 minutes to support families, no matter what time it was. I am so impressed. #AngelsOnEarth #medsky

i pretend coffee helps but i still want to throat punch most of you.

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer. It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health. Warning signs are everywhere.

I can't decide if this is a joke or biting commentary on British colonialism.

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books during a raging snowstorm in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

i am glad that weed is more or less becoming legal nationwide little by little but my two wet blanket opinions are: -edibles sold in packages that mimic popular kids snacks and junk food should be... idk... less common -vapes should only be sold at 21+ stores/dispensaries

Thank you for anyone taking care of hospice patients, especially this time of year

We probably don’t need to have this conversation but, “the biggest reason humans have such a large impact on the environment is that we want to provide a high standard of living for a very large population of people” is very different from “I want human population to crash.”

Mouse, a Geoffroy's cat, who died after contracting H5N1 bird flu at the Wild Felid Advocacy Center of Washington in Shelton, Wash. RIP 💔

The great things about the #holidays with young kids is that there are people fighting to hold your baby, so you can actually poop in peace

2000 years ago some chick got knocked up and pretended God did it and now I have to hang out with my family and eat ham next to an indoor tree

Me: It doesn't have a tail, so I'm pretty sure it's a hamster. Tech support: “sigh” Fine. Right click on your hamster...

I always forget that the brother in the Folgers commercial is excited for "real coffee" after coming back from "West Africa," one of the largest coffee-producing regions on earth
